This tequila based cocktail is bitter before turning bittersweet, then finishes with a long bitter finish. It won’t be for everybody but for those who appreciate the flavour of gentiane liqueur will appreciate this drink for its simplicity and originality.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2015 by Christopher Day at General Lee's, Los Angeles, USA.
